If he knows that they are cheating, he needs to flunk them out of his class. Otherwise, they're never going to stop.

An Orwellian world, after all...
It's an Orwellian world, after all...

Nah. The fools will end up releasing some shoggoths.

Never attribute to evil that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

I'm not going to say you're wrong, because quite honestly, experiences vary... but the only Archetype I ever had trouble leveling were Controllers... and even then, it was more because I was goofing around.

The problem is that they closed City of Heroes, which had free-to-play and monthly subscription options... to what... make us play Guild Wars 2, which is free-to-play (after you buy the game), and has no monthly subscription fees?

That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

this: "The Wedge Touch Mouse is an artful product shaped as an angular wedge..."

as this: "The Wedge Touch Mouse is an awful product shaped as an angular wedge..."

Looking at it, it in no way looks like it is designed for comfort of use.

Ok, I'm sure I'm missing something here.

But I don't see where a specific test can't be patented to determine if a gene is present, without patenting the gene.

If someone else comes up with a different way to detect that gene, then they wouldn't be in violation of the patent.

Judge says that only simple people use Apple products. Anything more than one button at a time confuses them.

What? I said I was trolling...

Couldn't we be using Avira at work?

Then I could go home and play Diablo.

Samzenpus was scared by Ayn Rand as a small child (who wasn't, really), and so has a mental block there. He had to put down Ron Paul instead, or it would have just been 'fnord' all over the place.

The thing is, he's not entirely wrong.

Look, back in the Golden Age of Comics (okay, back right after the Comics Code Authority was first put in place) you could find heroes upholding good honest American values (I am being mildly sarcastic here, trust me). Heroes always won, villains always lost, authority figures were respected, and so on.

But that's not the way comics are now. Look at the last few years of DC, for example. You have legions of super-zombies killing anyone and everyone around them (Blackest Night), entire cities being destroyed or severely messed up by the forces of evil (Final Crisis, and Infinite Crisis), and so on. Heck, lately DC has seemed to play by a "Anyone can die" rule, which included killing off the non-super-powered kid of Arsenal (along with thousand of other people in Star City at the time).

Marvel isn't much better, when it comes to apocalyptic mayhem, but they tend to confine it to the mutant books more often then not.

Throw in the standard art style of drawing every female character with the most common super-power (mega-boobs), and costumes that consist of two hankies and a piece of string.... and it's not horribly kid-friendly.

And hey, they're 'stopping terrorists' but they're letting drug dealers right on through!

Of course, it says something that the only reason the authorities found out about this going on was that one of the drug couriers was too friggin' stupid to go to the terminal with the bribed TSA agents.

What's ironic, is that I don't use Chrome simply because it won't let me put the different tabs below the address bar WHERE THEY BLOODY WELL BELONG. (You know, like practically every other browser does.)
